7 Spring Collaborations That Prove 2 Designers Are Better Than 1

Mar 19 2016 - 6:30am

Thanks to the craze of viral collaborations like Lilly Pulitzer for Target [1] and Balmain x H&M [2], the best designers in the industry continue to team up. We don't blame them — when two really great fashion houses or retailers meet, a beautiful romance full of top-notch clothes and accessories is born.

Givenchy Creative Director Riccardo Tisci just unveiled his NikeLab activewear [3], a stylish, kaleidoscopic addition to any girl's wardrobe, and we've already got seriously striking shoes on our must-have list thanks to the likes of Rihanna and Manolo Blahnik [4] and Misha Nonoo and Aldo [5].

But there are even more options for doubling up on designers this Spring. Read on for a well-curated list of the collaborations you simply can't skip over as you shop.

Target x Marimekko

Playful graphics [6] are splashed on swimsuits, clothing, accessories, and a whole range of outdoor goods for the adventurer.

Riccardo Tisci x NikeLab

A line of look-at-me gymwear [7] is infused with sexy yet sporty details straight from the Givenchy mastermind. But don't underestimate the performance quality of these mesh-paneled shorts, leggings, and crop tops.

Madewell x Giejo

Not only are these poppy monokini and two-pieces [8] unforgettable, but they're also made solely from reclaimed materials thanks to sustainable label Giejo. They're the must have for your next beach vacation.

Olivia Palermo x Chelsea28

The stylish business lady churned out separates [9] we'd find in her own closet for Nordstrom's label Chelsea28. It's downright tough to pick a favorite piece.

Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik

Is there any designer partnership more covetable than Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik [10]? When you take a good look at these denim thigh-high heels, complete with embellished stirrups, we think not. The limited-edition line of sexy footwear was unveiled for the first time in British Vogue, alongside RiRi's cover.

Rodarte x & Other Stories

The sequins, patchwork details, and clear-quality structure of the new Rodarte x & Other Stories line [11] are inimitable, to say the least. We could work up an entire week's worth of outfits with the collaboration alone.

Misha Nonoo x Aldo Rise

This isn't the first time Misha Nonoo has created need-now shoes for Aldo [12]. This Spring, the feminine platforms, mules, and leather sandals are the type your eyes dart to immediately when you're standing storefront.
